    I never saw that one open and the Truckomat was a little farther down, about where that used truck dealership is located now.

    I would take this truckstop over those southern full of holes truck stops. I don't see what the complaint is.

    I support any new truck stops. More parking spaces available the better.

    And also as far as Amerifreight they're almost ready to close down. Chicago will be left with a lot of drivers looking for companies. At least 500.

    Amerifreight has disclosed investors that used trucking to wash money. Their clean money went on other investments other than being a carrier. Majority of those invesments have returned but still a few waiting such as the truckstop. They haven't been paying their bills, which bankruptcy will take care off, and new investments under new names will keep ringing in the money. No one is arrested and upper guys are happy, drivers will flock to other companies.

    I'm close to every chicago trucking company, meaning we drink together and have coffees. Can't say how I know this but you heard it here first.

    Personally I liked their name. Could've used better logo but the name sounds cool and wish it didn't go to ####.

    I passed by there two nights in a row and the place is dead. There were maybe five trucks in the parking lot and just one at the fuel pumps. Shame that they invested all that money to build it and business is slow right from the start. Another problem is that there are no signs on I-294 informing trucks of the truck stop.

    What is going to hurt that place is there's no EASY way to get in there off 294
